Washington, DC based fast-casual restaurant chain, Sweetgreen, specializes in seasonal, locally-sourced salads and warm, roasted grain bowls. Their mission to "inspire healthier communities by connecting people to real food," has captured a loyal following of Sweetgreen devotees in Center City as the company recently opened their third area location in June 2017. Sweetgreen's newest address at 1601 Market Street in Center City's bustling West Market Office District is a healthy all-day option for seasonal salads, bowls, and house made beverages made fresh daily. Additional Center City locations include 924 Walnut Street and 1821 Chestnut Street.

The Center City District (CCD), Central Philadelphia Development Corporation (CPDC) and Center City District Foundation (CCDF) work together to enhance the vitality and competitiveness of Philadelphia's downtown. In 1991 the business leadership organization CPDC created the CCD business improvement district to deliver daily services with the goal of making Center City clean and safe. This helped transform Center City into a vibrant 24-hour downtown, attractive to businesses, residents, students, shoppers and tourists. In addition, the CCD is responsible for the management of Dilworth, Sister Cities, John F. Collins and Cret Parks, four extraordinary public spaces in the heart of Center City. CCDF, the charitable affiliate of the CCD, was launched in 2016 to support the next generation of public space improvements in Center City Philadelphia.
